Linus proposes a program that focuses on re-formats.
Hi everyone, I've been a long-time Linux enthusiast and just set up a forum account. My question is about the program Linus mentioned in some videos—it claims to locate all drivers after reinstalling your OS. I don’t recall which video he referenced, so I thought maybe someone remembered. By the way, my 12-year-old keyboard broke tonight. I bought a BlackWidow Ultimate 2014, but I didn’t like it and returned it the same day. They “fixed” my old board by attaching a toothpick to the area where the plastic chipped off near the space bar stabilizer. It’s now working again, though I’m not sure how long that will last. Anyone have suggestions for a mechanical keyboard with a built-in wrist rest and no modifier keys on the left side of the control/shift area? That was the main reason I didn’t like the BlackWidow.
Ninite is definitely it! I initially thought it was meant for drivers, but after searching, I realized it's for programs. It seems useful, so I'll go ahead and install it. I'm also considering Corsair and welcome any suggestions. The Black Widow keys were great, though the function keys on the left didn't quite sit right with me.
There isn't a tool that checks your hardware and installs all current drivers automatically. Creating such a program would be a great idea!
